Diet and IQ

Researchers find link between diet and IQ.
The Los Angeles Times (2/8, Kaplan) "Booster Shots" blog reported that researchers from the University of Bristol in England have found a link between diet and IQ. Researchers monitored the eating habits of children from 3 years of age, whose IQs were tested while they were 8 ½ years old. They saw an IQ drop in children who ate diets high in "processed foods" but kids with "health-conscious" diets got a "small IQ boost." Children who ate a "traditional" diet were neither helped nor harmed in the IQ department.
